OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE The opening night of the Santa Cruz Film Festival last Wednesday was pretty epic. Tony Alva showed up to the soldout screening of the new documentary about him at the Del Mar. I got to spend some time talking to him, and he liked the GT cover featuring him so much he decided to sign a copy for every person at the screening who wanted one! (Which led to me scouring downtown hurriedly trying to find leftover copies here and there. There weren’t many; it was a popular issue! But I found some extras at the office.) Congrats to the whole SCFF

QUAKE MEMORIES

Re: “Shook” (GT, 10/9): I can close my eyes and still see the dormitories at Oakes College [UCSC] swaying while my friends were screaming in Spanish. It was 1989, my first year of college and we were walking back from the College 8 dining hall—since Oakes didn’t have one yet—when the trembling began. Yes, we were outside and the beautiful ocean view was in the distance. We were so scared and naive as we prayed a tsunami wasn’t next. I have no idea where we all are now but at that moment we were one. Hugging, crying and missing home even more. We slept outside on the West Field (which is probably some building now) until the dorms were deemed safe to enter. Now, 30 years later, I am a teacher in Los Angeles and you can bet I will talk about Loma Prieta as if it were yesterday. Hmm ... maybe I will make a lesson out of it or perhaps share a poem. Ah yes, the Pacific Garden Mall; dust and rubble. Walking and breathing the sadness of history buried in those concrete piles is still imprinted in my soul. Although I had just arrived in Santa Cruz, I knew instantly that I was a witness to something big. A new Santa Cruz. What? I was just getting to love the Santa Cruz I came to know in fall of ’89. Well, needless to say, I had to do something! I volunteered in Watsonville to

team on a successful festival. With this particularly packed fall well underway, we now roll right into Santa Cruz Restaurant Week. For our pullout guide in this issue, we talked to the chefs, owners and staff from every one of the 34 restaurants participating this year. You’ll also find all of their menus. This is the downtown dining event of the year, so get out there Oct. 16-23! Lastly, just wanted to mention that I’ll be doing a Q&A after the screening of Apocalypse Now: Final Cut, the new, definitive version of the classic 1979 film from director Francis Ford Coppola at DNA’s Comedy Lab on Thursday, Oct. 17 (see page 22). All I can say about the after-film session is there will be some crazy surprises, so hope to see you there!

sort clothes as the donations were constant and overwhelming. Watsonville was hit pretty hard too, you know. As I sorted clothes to build my sense of community, each piece of clothing I touched was a piece of my heart given to those families extremely devastated by this quake. I often think about my college years and wonder how everything looks now. Where are my screaming friends and do they even think about Loma Prieta anymore. The bonds we made around this monster earthquake could never be broken. But I don’t see them anymore and don’t ask me to go on Facebook please. I’m an old soul trying to preserve moments of real connections lost. I still close my eyes and feel Santa Cruz deep in my bones. I am happy to be a part of this history 30 years later. Although I am no longer there, the spirit of Loma Prieta earthquake, and the resilience of everyone affected, resides in my heart P/V. That means “for life” in Spanish. Por Vida. E.

LONG RANGING

SIGNING OFF

UCSC will host a presentation to solicit feedback on the future of campus land use. The first meeting on the school’s Long-Range Development Plan will be Monday, Oct. 21, at 6pm at Capitola Community Center, located at 4400 Jade St. The second will be Tuesday, Oct. 22, at 5:30pm in Seymour Marine Discovery Center’s La Feliz Room, located at 100 McAllister Way in Santa Cruz. The goal, according to a flier, “is to collaborate with the campus and local community to address issues of mutual importance.”

Assemblymember Mark Stone has had three bills signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom this month. One targets rehabilitation for incarcerated youth offenders, one eliminates medical copayments in jails and prisons, and another forbids employers from having “no rehire clauses” in settlement agreements over sexual harassment and other employment disputes. In a press release, Stone said that such clauses punish victims of discrimination and harassment “while the offender remains in the job.”

LOCAL TALK

What are the best and worst parts of your job? BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT

The best thing about my job is that when we’re working, there’s nothing more important than what we’re doing. And the worst thing about our job is not being able to stop bad things before they happen. SHANNA KUEMPEL FIREFIGHTER | SANTA CRUZ

The best part of my job is teaching tennis to kids—it makes me happy. The worst part is when I compete and I lose. I feel like the world is falling on my head. LASSINE KONE TENNIS INSTRUCTOR | HAPPY VALLEY

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of October 16 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

“We can’t change anything until we get some fresh ideas, until we begin to see things differently,” wrote Aries psychologist James Hillman. I agree. And that’s very good news for you Aries people. In my view, you are more attracted to and excited by fresh ideas than any other sign of the zodiac. That’s why you have the potential to become master initiators of transformation. One of my favorite types of plot twists in your life story occurs when you seek out fresh ideas and initiate transformations not only in your own behalf, but also for those you care about. I bet the coming weeks will bring at least one of those plot twists.

In ancient holy texts from India, soma was said to be a drink that enhanced awareness and alertness. According to modern scholars, it may have been a blend of poppy, ephedra, and cannabis. In Norse mythology, the beverage called the Mead of Suttungr conferred poetic inspiration and the ability to solve any riddle. One of its ingredients was honey. In Slavic folklore, raskovnik is an herb with the magic power to unlock what’s locked and uncover hidden treasures. It’s not a four-leaf clover, but resembles one. I invite you Libras to fantasize about using these three marvels. To do so will potentize your imagination, thereby boosting the cosmic forces that will be working in your favor to enhance your awareness, confer inspiration, solve riddles, unlock what’s locked, and find hidden treasures.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Metaphorically speaking, Taurus, you are now crossing a bridge. Behind you is the intriguing past; in front of you, the even more intriguing future. You can still decide to return to where you came from. Or else you could pick up your pace, and race ahead at twice the speed. You might even make the choice to linger on the bridge for a while; to survey the vast vistas that are visible and contemplate more leisurely the transition you’re making. Only you know what’s best for you, of course. But if you asked me, I’d be in favor of lingering on the bridge for a while.

GEMINI May21–June20 As I write this, I’m sitting in a café near two women at another table. One sports a gold cashmere headscarf and pentagram necklace. The other wears a dark blue pantsuit and a silver broach that’s the glyph for Gemini the Twins. Headscarf shuffles a deck of Tarot cards and asks pantsuit what she’d like to find out during the divination she is about to receive. “I would very much like you to tell me what I really, really want,” pantsuit says with a chuckle. “I’m sure that once I find out that big secret, I’ll be able to accomplish wonders.” I hope the rest of you Geminis will be on a similar mission in the coming weeks. Do whatever it takes to get very clear about what you want most.

OCTOBER 16-22, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Inventor Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983) was a visionary genius in numerous fields, including architecture, design, engineering, and futurism. In the course of earning 40 honorary doctorates, he traveled widely. It was his custom to wear three watches, each set to a different time: one to the zone where he currently was, another to where he had recently departed, and a third to where he would journey next. “I know that I am not a category,” he wrote. “I am not a thing—a noun. I seem to be a verb.” I recommend his approach to you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Be a verb! Allow your identity to be fluid, your plans adjustable, your ideas subject to constant revision.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “Art is good for my soul precisely because it reminds me that we have souls in the first place,” said actress Tilda Swinton. How about you, Sagittarius? What reminds you that you have a soul in the first place? Beloved animals? Favorite music? A stroll amidst natural wonders? Unpredictable, fascinating sexual experiences? The vivid and mysterious dreams you have at night? Whatever stimuli bring you into visceral communion with your soul, I urge you to seek them out in abundance. It’s soul-cherishing and soul-enhancing time for you.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

Ancient Greek philosopher Socrates was meandering through an Athenian marketplace, gazing at the appealing and expensive items for sale. “How many things there are in this world that I do not want,” he exclaimed with satisfaction. I recommend you cultivate that liberated attitude. Now is a perfect time to celebrate the fact that there are countless treasures and pleasures you don’t need in order to be charmed and cheerful about your life. For extra credit, add this nuance from Henry David Thoreau: People are rich in proportion to the number of things they can afford to let alone.

The coming weeks will be a favorable time to arrange a series of high-level meetings between your body, mind and soul. You might even consider staging an extravagant conference-like festival and festival-like conference. The astrological omens suggest that your body, mind and soul are now primed to reveal choice secrets and tips to each other. They are all more willing and eager than usual to come up with productive new synergies that will enable each to function with more panache and effectiveness.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

I invite you to try this exercise: Imagine that one springtime you grow a garden filled with flowers that rabbits like to nibble—petunias, marigolds, gazanias, and pansies. This is a place whose only purpose is to give gifts to a wild, sweet part of nature. It’s blithely impractical. You do it for your own senseless, secret joy. It appeals to the dreamy lover of life in you. Got all that, Leo? Now, in accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you actually try to fulfill a fantasy comparable to that one in the coming weeks.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 My Virgo friend Lola got a text-message from her Scorpio buddy Tanya. “Why don’t you come over and chill with me and my demons? It’ll be entertaining, I promise! My inner jerks are howlingly funny tonight.” Here’s what Lola texted back: “Thanks but no thanks, sweetie. I’ve been making big breakthroughs with my own demons—giving them the attention they crave without caving in to their outrageous demands—and for now I need to work on stabilizing our new relationship. I can’t risk bringing extra demons into the mix.” I suspect this is an accurate description of what could be happening for you, Virgo.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “I believe in inhabiting contradictions,” writes Aquarian author and activist Angela Davis. “I believe in making contradictions productive, not in having to choose one side or the other side. As opposed to choosing either or choosing both.” I think Davis’s approach will work well for you in the coming weeks. It’s not just that the contradictions will be tolerable; they will be downright fertile, generous and beneficent. So welcome them; honor them; allow them to bless you with their tricky opportunities and unexpected solutions.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Piscean pianist Frédéric Chopin (1801–1849) was a poetic genius whose music was full of sweetness and grace. “Without equal in his generation,” said more than one critic. Today, more than 170 years after his death, his work remains popular. Recently, an Italian sound designer named Remo de Vico created an original new Chopin piece that featured all 21 of the master's piano nocturnes being played simultaneously. (You can hear it here: tinyurl.com/ NewChopin.) As you might imagine, it’s a gorgeous mess, too crammed with notes to truly be enjoyable, but interesting nevertheless. I’ll counsel you to avoid a similar fate in the coming weeks, Pisces. It’s fine to be extravagant and expansive and multi-faceted; just don’t overdo it.

Ariadne Symons, as a complete neophyte, immediately slid seamlessly into the family court groove, may signal limited fitness for working in all other areas of the law. A vestige of English ecclesiastical courts, family courts are uniquely free of constitutional restraints (since federal courts refuse to touch divorces); the judge’s discretion reigns supreme and unchecked in deciding child custody, and their orders abound in weasel word terms of art like the in-practice-hollow “best interest of the child.” (There is no legal test for evaluating whether “best interest” has been achieved; no ruling can be appealed on grounds

that it hasn’t.) This amorphous legal “framework” contrasts sharply with the courtroom rigor and judicial accountability demanded when the rule of law is implemented seriously, and due process, the presumption of innocence, the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard of proof, etc., are insisted upon. Since her “severe” censure, Judge Symons has been reassigned from hearing felonies to juvenile-dependency cases—in significant part, I conjecture, to avoid an expected embarrassing number of appeals and burdensome quantity of remands.

INVISIBLE HAND Dawn Motyka’s found-object piece “Papered Over” illustrates how past trauma can resurface. PHOTO: DAWN MOTYKA

A Lot to Unpack

delicate doll with a face that has started to chip away after years of abuse. An unnerving action figure to represent the creepy uncle dubiously picked to babysit. Rows of small, detached arms reaching out of a suitcase to symbolize how young immigrants are ripped away from their parents. These are some of the unnerving scenes inspired by real-life stories of childhood trauma in a new art exhibit by Santa Cruz doctor and acupuncturist Dawn Motyka, known locally as “Dr. Dawn.” Her foundobject assemblages are on display in

the Emotional Baggage exhibit at the Westside Habitat for Humanity store through October. “I’ve been kind of haunted by these images,” says Motyka, who runs Westside functional medicine practice Optimage Health. “It’s like a mushroom, where it just kind of grew over time.” The objects that populate the pieces, collected mostly at flea markets over many years, reflect stories that Motyka has heard from patients over her three-decade career focused on pain management. Though stories are “very disguised” to protect patient privacy, they’re

inspired by real-life details. Take the “Fred Munster-looking” doll that reminded her of a patient who described years of sexual abuse by an uncle. “I thought, ‘That’s Uncle Bob,’” Mytoka says. “Tall, creepy, thin, striped PJs.” Motyka sees the project as part of a bigger conversation in medical research and the media about how childhood trauma manifests in physical symptoms like chronic pain, insomnia or anxiety. It’s a topic that has gained attention since the late ’90s, when researchers at Kaiser Permanente found that children who experienced

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 16-22, 2019

‘Emotional Baggage’ exhibit highlights lasting health impacts of childhood trauma BY LAUREN HEPLER

adverse childhood events—abuse, domestic violence, an addicted or incarcerated family member—are more likely to struggle with obesity, addiction, depression or other highrisk behaviors. The findings were stark: “There is a strong graded relationship between the breadth of exposure to abuse or household dysfunction during childhood and multiple risk factors for several of the leading causes of death in adults,” the study concluded. The concept is perhaps best distilled in Motyka’s mixed-media piece “Papered Over,” where a ragdoll gripped by a plastic hand is partially obscured by a torn sheet of paper—a nod to how repressed traumatic memories can rear up suddenly and disrupt life years later. “This stuff gets buried,” Motyka says. “It’s emotional baggage locked away in the closet.” She didn’t always have such a holistic view of how patients end up at the doctor’s office. By the late ’90s, Motyka says, she’d grown frustrated with Band-Aid pharmaceutical solutions to pain. “I was so sick of writing prescriptions for Vicodin, because that’s all I could do for pain for primary care,” she says. After starting her own practice and expanding to include acupuncture and other functional medicine, Mytoka had more control over her time and capacity to get to the root issues of pain. While she hopes to work with local art groups to bring a version of the exhibit to surrounding areas, Mytoka has so far avoided parlaying her pieces into explicit activism. Employees at Habitat for Humanity are equipped with a resource list for anyone who seems to react strongly to the artwork, but Motyka says her priority is recognition rather than recommending any one treatment. “I didn’t want to make it an advertisement for mental health services,” Motyka says. “The message is, ‘You are not alone.’”

NEWS HIGH ALERT Cannabis entrepreneurs paid the county for a spot in line. Now they could get burned BY TODD GUILD

OCTOBER 16-22, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

[This is part two of a two-part series on Santa Cruz County’s cannabis industry. — Editor]

Bird Valley Organics owners Terry Sardinas and Manny Alvarez moved from Florida to the Aptos hills in 2011 to tap into the burgeoning medical cannabis market. There, they lived in a tiny trailer and cultivated cannabis on a 10-acre farm, in addition to producing and marketing CBD oil. Their products could be found at about 80 dispensaries throughout California. Most of their neighbors, they say, were also in the cannabis business. Things changed for them in 2015, when it became evident that a new legal marijuana market was on the way. Sardinas and Alvarez moved to a 20-acre parcel in Watsonville after realizing that new local rules under Proposition 64, approved by voters in 2016, would mean the end of their business. They are now back in business, but only with a cultivation permit after they gave up on CBD oil and the manufacturing side of the operation. Still, they were some of the lucky ones. Out of the 750 or so growers who paid hundreds of dollars to put their names in a county registry of hopeful cannabis entrepreneurs during the legalization process, only a handful could meet the requirements. Many have been driven out of business. As GT reported last week, Santa Cruz County Supervisor Ryan Coonerty says the county hopes to register 102 growers by 2021. That’s just 13% of those who threw their names in. “We really were very fortunate to get in, because out of 750 registrants, we’re one of the very few that are left,” Sardinas says. “I pinch myself every day.” In the wake of Prop. 64’s passage, the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors hashed out a series of rules they say were designed to bring growers out of small mountain plots and into areas zoned for commercial agriculture. Sardinas and Alvarez quickly realized that their farm was no longer going to pass muster. Among other things, growers >16

Confusion reigned after PG&E turned off the power in Santa Cruz County BY LAUREN HEPLER, JACOB PIERCE, DENIZE GALLARDO AND JORDY HYMAN

n Thursday afternoon, the weather in Aptos was clear and sunny with a slight breeze. From the outside, the Safeway at Rancho Del Mar shopping center looked calm, too. Inside, the store looked like something out of a cut-rate zombie apocalypse thriller. With all overhead lights out and just a few crucial registers open, customers scrambled to navigate the cavernous supermarket with flashlights, headlamps and the glow of cell phones. Shelves of meat, dairy, juice and other perishables had been cleared after power was lost overnight Wednesday, following a

day of hurry-up-and-wait warnings with little definitive information. “People are saying it could be five days,” said Aptos resident Mary Jo Morris, whose nearby home also lost power Wednesday night. She left Safeway empty-handed once she realized there was little fresh produce to pick from, and was considering going to stay with her daughter who had power in San Jose. “It makes you so confused.” The blackout stemmed from a decision by utility Pacific Gas & Electric to preemptively cut power to some 600,000 customers—which energy analysts said likely totaled over 2 million people at shared home

and business addresses—in hopes of staving off potential wildfires. Around this time the last two years, deadly blazes including the Santa Rosa Tubbs Fire and Paradise Camp Fire were sparked by the company’s equipment in dry conditions and high winds, state reports have found. By Thursday evening, PG&E released a statement that a “partial all clear” had been given for Santa Cruz County, allowing utility workers to inspect power lines for damage and restore electricity to the nearly 37,000 households impacted. Exactly where power was out at any given time was difficult >14

WHAT EVERY PG&E CUSTOMER NEEDS TO KNOW Public Safety Power Shutoff, or PSPS, is a safety program that proactively shuts off electric power lines when there is an elevated fire risk. Do you have an emergency kit with nonperishable food, one gallon of water per person per day, medications, flashlights and batteries?

If you own a generator, is it safe to operate?

If power is temporarily turned off, customers should consider these questions:

Are your mobile phones fully charged? Do you have a portable back-up charger or a solar charger?

Do you know how to open your garage door manually?

Do you have a personal safety plan for all members of your family, including your pets?

Make sure we can reach you in the event of a PSPS. Please update your contact information at pge.com/mywildfirealerts.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 16-22, 2019

If anyone in your family depends on electricity for their medical needs, have you made preparations?

All PG&E customers should be prepared for possible power outages that could last for multiple days.

to track, since the utility’s online map of outages stretching from Bakersfield to the Oregon border crashed repeatedly. While PG&E spokespeople warned that blackouts could be part of a “new normal” as climate change fuels hotter, drier fire conditions, many questioned how the utility decided to cut the power when high winds failed to materialize in areas including Santa Cruz County. “We were not adequately prepared,” PG&E CEO Bill Johnson said in a press conference after the blackout, which ultimately lasted about three days in some rural areas and hit poor residents and those who rely on electrical medical devices particularly hard. On Monday, following reprimands from Gov. Gavin Newsom, the California Public Utilities Commission demanded that PG&E make immediate changes to its power shut-off strategy after its “failures in execution … created an unacceptable situation that should never be repeated.” PG&E began warning of the unprecedented “Public Safety Power Shutoff” early last week, at one point projecting that 38 counties could be impacted. Outside of impromptu gathering places like the Aptos Safeway on Thursday, many residents said they had been told a blackout was possible, but not

definitively when it would happen, leaving them to scramble to buy food, gas, generators and supplies like flashlights. “I ran around with my headlight on last night,” said 47-year Aptos resident Joan Ercole. The timing of the event was somewhat eerie, she added, given that the 30th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake, which leveled much of the county and surrounding region, is coming up Oct. 17. Except for one key difference: “This is pretty bad, because it’s man-made,” Ercole said. Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at Stanford University estimated on Twitter that the economic costs of the outage could total over $2 billion. In Santa Cruz, many of Westside Hardware’s supply shelves sat empty on Thursday afternoon following a mad rush of nervous customers the day before. “We had people coming in for flashlights, kerosene, batteries, lamps, coolers,” store associate Matt Bates said. Bates’ Wednesday afternoon shift was the busiest he’s seen since he began working for the Ace Hardware franchise three months ago. Some of the aisles were so jammed and crowded that he was unable to squeeze by. The power did go out at Bates’ house in Ben Lomond on Thursday morning. Rather than turn his

family’s generator on, he got dressed by candlelight at 6:30 a.m. and drove to see if power was on at the store. Thankfully, it was, since most of the city of Santa Cruz was unaffected. Across the street, Bonny Doon resident Brian Legg was feeling ticked off while filling up four 5-gallon plastic gas tanks at the Westside Valero station on Thursday. The fuel, he hoped, should be enough to power his generator a couple of days, if needed. Legg got a phone call from PG&E on Sunday warning him that the power may go off in three days, as well as similar calls on Monday and Tuesday. But when he didn’t hear anything on Wednesday, he figured that he was in the clear. Then, the power went off without warning. “It’s frustrating,” Legg said, since the much-discussed weather remained relatively mild. Valero assistant manager Cypress Castorena said customers had been coming in “nonstop, like crazy,” many in need of ice and gas. Her daughter was in school at Brook Knoll Elementary, where the power was out but a back-up generator was running phones and other essential services. On Thursday, 11 schools closed— Bonny Doon Elementary, Valencia Elementary, Aptos High, Aptos Junior, Rio Del Mar Elementary, Calabasas Elementary, Bradley Elementary and all four San Lorenzo Valley Unified schools.

NUZ OUT LYING A couple weeks ago, 25-yearold Chloe Newton was nannying at someone else’s house when there was a knock at the door. The man on the doorstep was collecting signatures for a recall effort against City Councilmembers Drew Glover and Chris Krohn. He mentioned that Glover had sexually assaulted two women, Newton says. Shocked, she

signed her name without giving the issue much thought. “I just really regretted signing it,” says Newton, who quickly learned that what the man with the clipboard said was a lie. Days later, her mom Susan Zackovich walked up to a recaller tabling at the surfer statue on West Cliff. Zackovich says the man started talking to her about how Glover wasn’t fairly elected and that he actually came in seventh place last year. More lies.

Recall leader Dan Couglin expresses skepticism that the exchanges really happened the way Zackovich and Newton describe them. If anything, he says, they could have been mere miscommunications. He stresses that organizers make a point of training petition gatherers to understand that there have been no allegations of Glover or doing anything sexually inappropriate. “And we don’t

even hint that he wasn’t fairly elected,” he adds. Newton was relieved to hear that it is, in fact, possible for her to withdraw her name from the petition by contacting the Santa Cruz city clerk. Anyone interested in withdrawing their name from the petition can visit stopsantacruzrecalls.org/ rescind-signature. Anyone interested in living in a functioning, circus-free democracy, however, has little recourse at this point.

STOPPING

IS PART OF DRIVING. That’s why stopping is such an important part of driving—it makes our streets safer for everyone. So when you encounter a stop sign, resist the “California stop.” Even if you don’t see anyone else around, be sure to brake completely. This gives you time to spy kids riding bikes on the sidewalk, or people hidden by foliage or parked cars who are about to step off the curb. And for safety’s sake, do not pass cars stopped at crosswalks. When you come to a stop sign, please fully stop and wait your turn. It’s the Street Smarts thing to do.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 16-22, 2019

There’s a lot more to driving than just stepping on the gas. Like stopping, for instance. Without it, intersections would be chaos. Crashes would happen left and right. Pedestrians and bicyclists would be at great risk.

would be required to have roads big enough for fire engines, in addition to setbacks from neighbors and inhabited dwellings. The rules have eviscerated many cannabis grows in mountainous regions. “It’s squeezed out a lot of people,” Alvarez says. “Not everybody can make it through the shift, through the storm. If the storm lasts longer than you have resources for, you’re out in the cold.” And moving was no small task, especially now that the newly legalized cannabis industry has increased the price of farmland. “There is only so much commercial agricultural property, and it’s all located in Watsonville,” Alvarez says. Luckily, they found a property owner willing to lease their property. Alvarez says he declined to get a manufacturing license for the new location to avoid the onerous application process for additional permits. Back in 2016, the cost for a manufacturer or cultivator to put their name on the cannabis registry was $500,

but many of those who got farther along in the application process have since found themselves in a far deeper hole. Santa Cruz cannabis attorney Ben Rice says that only a fraction of those who paid thousands of dollars to submit the extensive application to cultivate cannabis will get approved. “They were led to believe the county was going to embrace them and bring them into the legitimate market,” he says. “Instead, we have all these folks who are either forced to stop altogether or stay under the radar.” The new framework, Rice warns, bolsters the black market, while leaving legitimate growers unable to navigate the county’s onerous requirements and prompting them to move elsewhere. “Those jobs and that tax money is going elsewhere, and it’s really a failure of the leadership of our Board of Supervisors in my opinion,” Rice says. All of this is harming an industry that has existed in one way or another for decades, he says. “Many people are trying to continue an activity their parents and grandparents

were doing,” Rice says. He predicts that the legal picture will improve as the county gets used to a legal market and the county changes its calculus of how to regulate the industry. Jim Coffis co-founded Green Trade Santa Cruz, a coalition of local cannabis businesses and organizations. He questions why many growers started receiving visits from the cannabis licensing office after they turned in their application. “Is the sheriff going down the list, or are they really going on complaints from neighbors?” he asks. Santa Cruz County Chief Deputy Sheriff Steve Carney, who runs the law enforcement wing of the county’s cannabis licensing office, says that authorities use the information from the applications to confirm whether grows are legit. “We only check the records when we see criminal activity,” Carney says. Robert Zaremba provides services for the cannabis industry, such as distribution, packaging and labeling. He says the county’s seen an exodus of growers, particularly from the mountain communities, dealing an

economic blow that stretches far beyond the cannabis industry. “Every grow that was in this community is now considered illegal,” he says of the Santa Cruz Mountains. “They created a path for licensing, but they made the path impossible.” Zaremba says hydroponics stores that provided supplies to the growers have closed around the county, and that hardware stores have seen a drop in business as well. “The industry has absolutely been devastated by these new rules,” he says. The upheaval also scuttled potential cannabis tourism before it was able to launch, Zaremba says, negating an economic opportunity for Santa Cruz County to draw cannabis tourists the same way that Napa County attracts wine aficionados. But fears of heavy-handed enforcement removed the underpinnings for such ventures before they got going, Zaremba says. “Many bigger operators and innovators and good players bailed from the county,” he says. “They said they couldn’t risk it, and packed up and left.”

NEWS IN THE DARK <14 all reopened Friday, though some schedules weren’t announced until late Thursday night. Cabrillo College narrowly avoided the blackout, but UCSC cancelled classes and closed several buildings on Thursday. For much of the day, the university with just shy of 20,000 students found itself in limbo after campus power went out around 11pm Wednesday night. A cogeneration plant provided power to key infrastructure and services like the fire station, health center, several labs and science buildings, and three dining halls. But much of the campus was dark. “We’re in the same boat as the rest of Santa Cruz,” Hernandez-Jason said Thursday, when it was unclear how long the blackout would last. Classes resumed on Friday. Power was also out in much of Corralitos, including the corner of Freedom Boulevard and Corralitos Road. A sign posted on the front door of Corralitos Tattoo read “No power, no tattoos! Closed today.” Aladdin Nursery owner Gustavo Beyer said that since he was already in the store, he planned to take advantage of the quiet afternoon to clean his shop. Across the street, Corralitos Feed and Pet Supplies opted to stay open for customers. Owner Ely Padilla said he was going to have to manually input everything that sold that day into the store’s inventorytracking system. “Animals have to eat like we need to eat,” he said, “so we try to do our best to make our customers happy.” Just up the road, Corralitos Meat Market was fully prepared to withstand the outage with its military-grade generator keeping sausages, steaks and other food cold. Market President Dave Peterson said his predecessor had installed the generator, which runs off a 55-gallon drum of diesel, after the ’89 quake. “A lot of people came in saying the were going to a barbecue tonight since they were out of power,” Peterson said. “The only thing I can say is thank god for a generator.”

a mixtape that landed him a chance to open for hip-hop stars like Devin the Dude and Andre Nickatina. But then, after Kovacevich moved to Oregon, he was arrested for money laundering.

The Sacramento native, who graduated from UCSC in 2016 with a degree in anthropology, had to start over again. “I was left with nothing to my name but a big, fat lawyer bill,”

Kovacevich says. “My mom was pissed. I just graduated college, and I’m basically at the same level as a felon. That’s just not me—I’m not a felon, I’m not supposed to go to jail. I’m supposed to make music.”

“I aim to be as lyrical as Eminem. I aim to have the storytelling of J Cole. I aim to have the dominance of Kendrick Lamar.” — IVAN KOVACEVICH Kendrick Lamar,” Kovacevich says. While he prefers not to go into details, the arrest last year was a serious blow to the momentum he had gained. Since then, Kovacevich has hustled to make money, trying to escape a cycle of working and going broke. In February, he released a new album, Stressed and Ambitious, on Spotify. “I worked seven days and saved up $3,000 dollars in a month working three jobs, and took that money to the studio,” he says. The album is memoir of Kovacevich’s long last year—his experience struggling, working long hours and trying to get out of legal debt, all while making music. On tracks like “HeadSpace,” “Alot” and “How 2 Feel,” exhaustion is a constant, bringing the toll of the grind on his mental health into focus. Now, with the latest turbulent chapter behind him, Kovacevich is looking to the future. Down to one job, he is producing music debt-free. “Now I’m just trying to figure out what my next move in life is,” Kovacevich says. “I got shoes lined up, music videos lined up. Now that I’m out of debt and don’t have this financial burden, I’m trying to figure out how to become the musician I want to be.” The Santa Cruz Music Festival will be presented Oct. 19 and 20 at locations throughout downtown Santa Cruz.

Focused, driven and back in Santa Cruz, Kovacevich has been working three jobs, seven days a week, to pay off his debts and get back in the studio, all while living in a house with roommates who party until 4am. “I stay humble,” Kovacevich says. “That was my punishment for doing what I did to my family.” This weekend, the rapper will take the biggest step yet in his comeback when he guest performs at the Santa Cruz Music Festival alongside electronic DJ Russel Jordan at his Catalyst set on Sunday, Oct. 20. Kovacevich has struggled before. Instead of spending his free time as a local college student bar hopping on Pacific Avenue or raging at campus parties, he could usually be found in the basement he rented in town—the same place where he wrote and produced his first mixtape Flooded Basement. The title was true to life: a rain storm wrecked the basement apartment, ruining his stuff but further motivating him to push his music forward. “I lost everything I had,” Kovacevich says. “I had to start all over.” Soon, he found back-up singers and a bass player, and he opened for Devin the Dude at the Catalyst in 2017. “After that, things low-key took off,” Kovacevich says. Following the mixtape inspired by the basement wreckage, Evo2raw opened other shows for artists including Nef the Pharaoh, Maxo Kreme and Nickatina. His sound is a blend of rappers that have dominated the genre. “I aim to be as lyrical as Eminem. I aim to have the storytelling of J Cole. I aim to have the dominance of

APOCALYPSE ANNIVERSARY The new ‘Final Cut’ of ‘Apocalypse Now’

screens at DNA’s Comedy Lab on Thursday, Oct. 17.

Art of Darkness Cinelab presents Santa Cruz debut of ‘Apocalypse Now: Final Cut’ BY STEVE PALOPOLI

hen they hear that the 40th anniversary of Apocalypse Now’s release is bringing a brand-new version of the film from director Francis Ford Coppola that more closely reflects his original vision, a lot of the movie’s fans might say, “Wait a minute, didn’t he already do that?” They’re referring, of course, to 2001’s Apocalypse Now Redux, which restored some of the scenes that Coppola was forced to trim from his now-legendary war film back in 1979. But as Coppola himself explained to me in an interview earlier this year, what was released in 2001 wasn’t really his “director’s cut.” “The philosophy of the Redux version is not really understood too well,” Coppola told me. “A lot of distributors said, ‘Everyone’s talking about how there’s hours and hours of footage and scenes that weren’t used in the final cut,’ and that was true. So they said, ‘Why don’t you make a version where you put absolutely everything back in? There would be people who would be interested in seeing a version even an hour longer

than the first one.’ I was not sure, but a lot of people said it, and they came up with a way to be able to hire the editors. So we did go and we just put everything back. That was the goal— it wasn’t to say, ‘OK, this is a more perfect version.’ It was just to say, ‘This is a version that has everything.’” In other words, the distributors in 1979 made him take too much out, while the distributors in 2001 pushed to put too much back in. The new version, Apocalypse Now: Final Cut, strikes the balance that Coppola says he always wanted. It will be making its Santa Cruz debut this Thursday, Oct. 17, at DNA’s Comedy Lab—part of the venue’s new Cinelab series—and I’ll be on hand for a Q&A afterward, where we’ll talk about what Coppola revealed about the film, and I’ll reveal what it was like to watch the fabled five-hour-plus Apocalypse Forever assembly print. We’ll also have trivia, prizes and some (really weird) surprises that will be a lot of fun. The screening starts at 7pm at DNA’s Comedy Lab, 155 S. River St., Santa Cruz.

The Chicago-reared vibraphonist spent months crafting a book of tunes designed to utilize these players’ strengths. There was just one problem. “We literally could not perform the music,” says the Brooklyn-based Ross, who makes his California debut under his own name Thursday at Kuumbwa Jazz Center. “I had this idea I should write music we can’t play yet, with a lot of odd time signatures. We had to get past the challenge, like

learning how to use a new tool. Now we understand that language and how to make music with it.” Best known for his work with trumpeter Marquis Hill’s Blacktet, Ross had a breakout year in 2018, contributing to several critically hailed albums by blazing young innovators, including drummer Makaya McCraven’s Universal Beings and pianist James Francies’ Flight. But with the May release of his debut album KingMaker on the vaunted label Blue Note, he’s been gaining much deserved accolades as a composer and bandleader in his own right. By the time Good Vibes entered

the studio, they were confident they could maneuver through Ross’s tricky musical terrain. He uses some daunting rhythmic cycles, but his tunes never feel academic. It’s the sound of young artists steeped in the music’s deepest waters, yet confidently charting their own course through fast-flowing currents. Bassist Kanoa Mendenhall joined Good Vibes after the recording session. As challenging as it was to keep up with the intricate compositions, she connected with Ross’ intuitive thought process. “It’s very unpredictable playing with Joel. He’ll loop different

measures to make almost a new section on the spot, so it’s the same content but arranged in a different way,” Mendenhall says. “Even when he changes things up, his musical ideas are really easy to follow—clear and profound and intense.” Ross, only 24, has absorbed wisdom and techniques from eradefining vibraphone masters such as Stefon Harris, who recruited him for the University of the Pacific’s Brubeck Institute. Harris worked intently with Ross on remaking his mallet mechanics. He gleaned another important lesson from the late, legendary Bobby Hutcherson, who counseled Ross to “write music about your life, and write every day.” Ross took Hutcherson’s advice to heart. Many of the KingMaker tunes were inspired by Ross’s family, from the tough-but-tender title track written for his mother to the playfully discursive “Prince Lynn’s Twin,” dedicated to his twin brother, accomplished jazz drummer Josh Ross. Aside from 22-year-old Montereyreared Mendenhall, who sounded strikingly poised taking over the bass chair from Christian McBride, Ross is touring with the KingMaker cast. It’s a stellar young band that also features alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins, pianist Jeremy Corren, and the extraordinary young drummer Jeremy Dutton, a product of Houston’s vaunted High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. More than just about any other instrument in the jazz arsenal, the vibraphone requires a musician to develop bandleading skills early on. Depending on gigs as an accompanist is a sure path to underemployment. Ross carefully observes the bandleaders who hire him for pointers. “I have my preferences, but I don’t tell the musicians how to play anything, even if I do want a specific thing,” Ross says. “We went through this journey together figuring out how to play this music, and after we made the album we stopped playing it for a while. Now we’ve come back to it, and we feel stronger as an ensemble.” Good Vibes performs at 7pm on Thursday, Oct. 17, at Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $28.35 adv/$33.60 door. 427-2227.

SANTA CRUZ RESTAURANT WEEK

OCTOBER 16-23, 2019

BY SUSAN LANDRY

Sotola Bar & Grill

ach year, as summer turns to fall, Santa Cruzans fight the urge to cozy up inside and instead flood the local dining scene. They aren’t just fighting back against shorter days, or hesitant to let the good times roll ––Santa Cruz Restaurant Week offers a unique incentive. The annual event, which runs Oct. 16-23, gives guests an opportunity to dine out on any budget and explore their local culinary options. Participating restaurants––more than 30 this year––offer guests a three-course meal with fixed-price

menu options for $25, $35 or $45 dollars. It’s a time to dine at the best local spots without breaking the bank, but Restaurant Week is enticing for local chefs, too. It’s an opportunity for kitchens to flex their culinary skills and experiment with the bounty of the season. We spoke to each participating restaurant to find out what they’re offering this year, which menu items they’re especially excited about, and why they love participating in Santa Cruz Restaurant Week.

We have Asian, Latin and American flavors that are combined with the Hawiian preparation, and they go really well together.

“We have a lot of people who’ve been working here for seven or eight years. It’s like a family. There’s a lot of Italian restaurants around, but each one is different, and this is an opportunity for everybody to get to know each other and see what the different areas in Italy have to offer.” — GIOVANNI SPANU, EXECUTIVE CHEF/OWNER AT LAGO DI COMO

“I think the value we’re offering for $25 is really outstanding. It’s great appetizers, great desserts and really special entrées, which typically are more than the $25 by themselves.” — MICHAEL HARRISON, OWNER AT MICHAEL’S ON MAIN

“Looking at our menu, there is a dish for everyone. We have seafood, pasta, meat and a vegetarian dish. We always want to make sure everyone who comes by for Restaurant Week has an entrée for them. Who can pass up a three-course meal for $25?! We just want everyone to leave with a smile on their face and taste the authenticity that we put into every dish.” — AILEEN GARCIA, MANAGER AT RISTORANTE ITALIANO

“Rosie McCann’s is a very unique, individual spot in Santa Cruz. It’s great for everyone—for kids, for adults. We welcome everybody in. We pride ourselves on giving really good customer service to make sure people have a great experience.” — JOSE CADENAS, FLOOR MANAGER/BARTENDER AT ROSIE MCCANN’S

“This is a great time to come in and see how we produce our menu seasonally. This is a time where you’ll see fall items on the menu—your bitter greens, like radicchios, and fall fruits—and we’re starting to serve more cold-weather dishes. We’ve got a really beautiful kabocha squash soup done with coconut milk and lemongrass. It’s very warm and comforting. Same thing with our braised short rib dish. It’s kind of getting to that cold time of year, so we’re going to have dishes that reflect that.” — STEVEN BILLINGS, GENERAL MANAGER AT SOIF 10>

It’s a beautiful time of year, and our outdoor patio is an amazing location to watch the sunset while enjoying delicious California coastal cuisine.

“The Restaurant Week menu is made up of items we serve on our normal menu. Our hope is that we get people who haven’t eaten at the Back Nine before come in and try it out. If they really love and enjoy what they’ve had, then they’re able to come back and get that on a regular basis.” — BEN KRALJ, GENERAL MANAGER/EXECUTIVE CHEF AT THE BACK NINE GRILL & BAR

“I’m excited about some of the special cocktails we’re offering for Restaurant Week. The vanilla-infused rum soda is very approachable. It almost tastes like an old-fashioned cream soda, but it’s made with rum. The chocolatestrawberry cosmo is a cacao infusion that’s completely unsweetened, but still has a chocolate flavor from the cacao, and the strawberry is literally just Windmill Farms strawberries baked in the oven to make a sauce. That’s exciting, because when you look around at a lot of the bars, they’re offering complexities that sound almost like modern art—in other words, very interesting but sometimes above our heads. What we’re offering to people is a simplicity of origin in their cocktail mixers.” — DAVID JACKMAN, EXECUTIVE CHEF/OWNER AT CHOCOLATE

“For each course this year, we’re offering at least one vegetarian option and trying to do things that are totally different from what we usually do. So for me, that’s what I’m most excited about—I get to play with different foods.” Beverage, tax and gratuity not included No substitutions please Menu is subject to change based on availability

We’re also going to serve our apple-berry cobbler, but as a pie, so it’s a new twist on an old classic.” — KRISTA HAUX, AST. RESTAURANT MANAGER AT SEVERINO’S BAR & GRILL

“One focal point we’re really excited about is our balsamic salmon. It’s a charbroiled salmon that has almost a bruschetta concept on top, so you’re going to have tomatoes, basil and garlic with a balsamic glaze over it. It’s super fresh, and you get some really amazing salmon with it as well.”

“A couple of our most famous are for sure our pappardelle Bolognese, our lasagna and our meatballs. Those are really classic, but we also try to put something new and fresh on the menu and take a bit of a risk with something that might be unusual for our customers, but that is really natural for us. We’ll try to discover an old family recipe and put it on the menu, to help people understand our roots.” — MATTEO ROBECCHI, GENERAL MANAGER AT TRAMONTI

MINDFUL LEADERSHIP Leading people is one of the most challenging tasks we can take on in life. And this challenge is made more difficult by the demands of today’s 24/7 always-on, interconnected world where distractions are rampant and change is constant. We often don’t have the breathing space to be clear and focused, to listen deeply to ourselves and others, or to lead with a sense of calm and centeredness. However, in the midst of this autopilot environment, decades of scientific research have found that mindfulness is the tool that enables leaders to embrace their humanity, focus on being a leader, engage with others in a more meaningful and impactful way, and perhaps even reduce suffering—for themselves and others—along the way. 10am-5pm. Land of Medicine Buddha, 5800 Prescott Rd., Soquel.

LAETITIA SONAMI + ASHA TAMIRISA With Of lands and lines, Bay Area electronic music pioneer Laetitia Sonami explores the Spring Spyre, a neural network instrument created in collaboration with technologist Rebecca Fiebrink. Focusing on the shift between place and representation, Sonami tunes the instrument in a new “prepared exploration” created specifically for the performance site at Wind River. Sharing the bill is Asha Tamirisa, whose long-form improvised performances incorporate various combinations of digital, analog, and tactile media—such as analog synthesizers, sounding objects, moving image, and generative text—and often seek to use the site of the performance as part of the instrumentation. 8pm. Wind River, 421 Wild Way, Santa Cruz.

Center

It is in our Education Center where we at the Animal Shelter most deeply feel the recent loss of these three extraordinary volunteers in the tragic fire on the Conception diving boat. They provided amazing leadership and dedication to our animals as they devoted countless hours to our Humane Education Program. We have witnessed a huge outpouring of sympathy and concern from the SCCAS community in response to this loss. In tribute to their dedication to the Shelter, we welcome memorial donations to the Shelter’s Education and Outreach Fund in their honor.

Living in an ever-changing and narrow landscape, these organisms are faced with unique challenges threatening their ultimate survival.

SUNDAY SEASIDE CRAFTS AT THE SEYMOUR CENTER Come create and take home a fun souvenir, an activity for the whole family to share!

One of the characteristics involving the Black Madonna is an association with darkness, the underground, caves and death. This talk will explore these connections with the artistic genre of the Black Madonna along with the spiritual and natural scientific qualities of the color black. These associations and understandings bring a new appreciation as to the healing nature of darkness. 7:30am. Resource Center For Nonviolence, 612 Ocean St., Santa Cruz.

LOCAL BAND

JAMIE COFFIS Jamie Coffis normally hits the stage with his five-piece roots-rock band the Coffis Brothers. But every once and awhile, he’ll play a set that’s just him and his keyboard. This Thursday, Oct. 17, Lille Aeske will host one such solo show, where his songs are stripped down and vulnerable.

OCTOBER 16-22, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“It’s a different kind of challenge. If I’m not doing anything, it’s going to be quiet. I’m not used to that,” Coffis says. “I got to carry the whole show. It’s a different mindset. I get nervous at these things.”

Years ago, he played solo during the week at restaurants and other venues where he could play in the background and bring home a little extra cash, keeping his gaze on the weekends when he’d play shows with his band. But since the Coffis Brothers have taken off, that hasn’t been necessary. Now he does the occasional solo set when a friend reaches out to him. He’s likely to play a few popular Coffis Brothers songs, some lesser known ones, a few covers, and maybe a few works in progress. Generally, the songs that work best are the ones that are more in the ballad vein, or songs he can really lock into the groove on his keyboard, he says. “You learn about the song. You learn about how to perform,” Coffis says. “It makes you better. I get to improve my craft. There’s not much to hide behind.” AARON CARNES 8pm. Thursday, Oct. 17. Lille Aeske, 13160 Hwy. 9, Boulder Creek. $15. 703-4183.

CHRIS PUREKA

WEDNESDAY 10/16 HIP-HOP

INJURY RESERVE On the opening track of Injury Reserve’s debut album, rapper Ritche with a T pretty much lays out the group’s MO: “This ain’t jazz-rap/This that spazz-rap/This that raised-by-theinternet, ain’t-had-no-dad rap.” The Arizona trio has been kicking around the underground scene for five years, releasing a handful of exceptional mixtapes. The group’s self-titled fulllength goes full-on beast mode with some of the strangest oddball beats and playful verses of any crew on the scene right now, calling back to that old-school flow even with beats that land somewhere between punk and psych soundscapes. AC 9pm. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 423-1338.

THURSDAY 10/17 ROCK

WHITE REAPER White Reaper spit-shined its gritty garage-rock into something slicker and glossier, like a glammed-up Pinto ready

to cruise the main street Taco Bell. It’s like if super-charged classic rock guitar riffs met super-sexy pop song, and together they shagged in a super arena and birthed White Reaper. No one knows why, but no one cares, either, because White Reaper is one-part Joe Dirt, two parts Weezer, three parts Killers, and fun as hell. AMY BEE 8pm. Felton Music Hall, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 704-7113.

FRIDAY 10/18 AMERICANA

CHRIS PUREKA When explaining the extended silence between 2010’s How I Learned to See in the Dark and 2016’s Back in the Ring, Chris Pureka is refreshingly honest: “I’m not interested in releasing songs I can’t get behind, or records I don’t love.” As a songwriter and performer, that honesty is one of Pureka’s greatest strengths. Whether in the slight twang of their voice, the emotional candor of their lyrics, or the timeworn ease of their guitar-work, the attitude is audible on nearly every track of Back in the Ring. MIKE HUGUENOR 8pm. Felton Music Hall, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15 adv/$17 door. 704-7113.

FOLK

ROCKS & SALT Rocks & Salt’s Facebook event page describes the group’s origin as “birthed out of whiskey-soaked hardships and an unadulterated love for the mysticism that pulses through the American music lexicon.” Well, alright, you have my attention. While that sounds like a tall tale, something most bands do in their lyrics, Rocks & Salt keeps it straight, telling true stories. All these songs are true. They are brought to life as Jared Griffin’s gritty voice dances over the old timey-but-not-dusty folk melodies in coordination with Nancy Ridgwell’s angelic vocals. MAT WEIR 8pm. Lille Aeske, 13160 Hwy. 9, Boulder Creek. $15. 703-4183.

SATURDAY 10/19 SURF

THE MERMEN No band has worked harder to escape the surf label than locals the Mermen. It’s an understandable quest, considering how confining it is to be thought of as surf. The group formed in the late ’80s, influenced by the surfy instrumentals of the ’50s and ’60s, but got

pretty psychedelic as the project aged, making atmospheric sounds its go-to anti-surf move. Latest album A Murmurous Sirenic Delirium is actually, well, pretty surfy.

What’s up with all those comedians who don’t play an acoustic guitar when they perform? Kinda weird, right? Luckily, Henry Phillips is here to make up for their failings. As a musical comedian, Phillips makes plenty of use out of his acoustic, gently plucking its strings as he soothingly intones about pissing himself and hating his ex-fiance. The beauty of music. You might have seen the tuneful comedian on his Comedy Central Presents special, or his Showtime Original film Punching Henry, maybe even on HBO’s Silicon Valley, on which he plays the decidedly unmusical John.

Maybe they describe themselves best: “Two guys from Israel and two from Chicago playing really fast.” OK, that’s only part of the story. Marbin is actually a shocking mix of jazz fusion and prog rock that sounds a lot smoother, and surprisingly much better. For fans of Mr. Bungle, Phish and John Coltrane. MW 9pm. Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz, $10. 423-7117.

COMEDY

Wurve would like you to know it was once known as the band Teevee, so if you liked Teevee and wondered what happened, you don’t need to be sad anymore. Wurve is still up to its same old shiz, making fuzzed-up psychrock and totally shoegazing the hell outta life. Really, don’t worry. It’s the same band. Maybe a little older and a little wiser, but it’s okay! AB

the Monterey Jazz Festival On Tour, an all-star sextet that featured an overlapping cast of five players and three singers. He’s touring with his consummate Monterey rhythm section partner, Japanese bassist Yasushi Nakamura, and drummer Marcus Baylor. ANDREW GILBERT

L.A. hip-hop crew Shoreline Mafia took the hip-hop scene by storm with their bouncy, low-key tracks. The group’s handful of mixtapes, EPs and singles are stellar. Where they really shine is on collaboration with rappers from other scenes, like on “Homicide” with Detroit’s BandGang Lonnie Bands and “Da Move” with the Bay Area’s SOB x RBE. Their breezy, almost whisperlike verses are full of punches and punchlines. They represent the streets of L.A. whoever they’re rapping with, and bring that laid-back party vibe with them every time.

FILM

‘SKY’ FALL Natalie Portman’s character in ‘Lucy in the Sky’ is based on NASA’s most famous astronaut criminal.

Lost In Space OCTOBER 16-22, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Astronaut drama ‘Lucy in the Sky’ never lifts off BY LISA JENSEN

alking in space is a lot like having sex with Jon Hamm. At least, that’s the takeaway from filmmaker Noah Hawley’s Lucy In the Sky, in which an astronaut played by Natalie Portman is so awed by her brief walk among the stars, her real life no longer measures up. Back on Earth, mostly in the arms of a fellow astronaut played by Hamm, she’s in a frenzy to replicate the same “feel”—a few minutes of euphoria, followed by a desperate craving to go back and do it again, even though she’s never quite satisfied. Hawley would have you believe there’s more to the movie than that, an element of attempted profundity

as Lucy keeps detaching from the minutiae of everyday life to soar again into the vastness of space that consumes her mind. Everything back on Earth now seems “so small.” Many aerial shots, often beautifully composed, scan whole neighborhoods from high above, or look down from balconies or through stairwells, and there are lots of arty shots where the image is stretched to letterbox proportions or otherwise manipulated to add to the sense of disorientation. But these are all visual tricks and window-dressing. When it comes down to the heart of the matter—story, characters, plot, theme—this movie fails to launch. Despite its lofty, quasi-spiritual

ambitions, the movie can’t escape the gravitational pull of its own mundane, disappointing plotting and chaotic execution to get into orbit. Astronaut Lucy Cola (Portman) returns from her ecstatic space walk to her suburban home in Houston, and her genial nice-guy husband, Drew (an unrecognizable Dan Stevens), a NASA tech. But she doesn’t feel like she fits into her old life any more. All she cares about is getting back up into space, so instead of taking a break, she dives into the grueling training program for the next mission. She feels a sense of kinship when fellow space-traveler Mark Goodwin (Hamm) invites her out bowling with the “Circle Club”—himself and two

other astronauts who have walked in space. Pretty soon, she’s attempting manned space flight in the back of Mark’s pick-up truck, and sneaking around behind her husband’s back. Further complicating things is Lucy’s salty grandma Nana (Ellen Burstyn), an alcoholic who chain-smokes around her oxygen tube and swears like a stevedore, but has little other function than to provide Burstyn with the movie’s juiciest role. It’s all loosely based on the story of real-life astronaut Lisa Nowack, whose notorious cross-country pursuit of a “romantic rival” made headlines. (“inspired by real events,” it says on screen.) But as crazy as Nowack’s story was, Hawley’s invented flourishes are even more peculiar in the movie’s dizzy last half-hour, as Lucy drives off on her half-baked mission. Her sense of urgency is fierce, but her intent unclear. She also hauls along her bewildered teenage niece (Pearl Amanda Dixon); Hawley apparently hopes the teen-in-jeopardy element will ramp up the tension in a sequence so nonsensical, we can’t invest in it any other way. The movie is riddled with details that may seem significant at first, but add up to nothing. The old screenwriter’s adage that a loaded weapon introduced into the plot means it has to get fired goes out the window here, when a handgun keeps causing alarm but is never explained or used. When something goes wrong during a training exercise and Lucy goes without oxygen for two minutes—with a beatific smile on her face—that’s not explained either. (Has she become bionic?) Nor does this miracle ever figure into the plot again. And what on Earth (or off) does the eponymous Beatles song have to do with any of it, popping up on the soundtrack in a slightly tortured rendition by Lisa Hannigan toward the end of the movie? Hawley sends out feelers in many directions but can’t find a narrative thrust that can keep us engaged. LUCY IN THE SKY ** (out of four) With Natalie Portman, Jon Hamm and Ellen Burstyn. Written by Brian C. Brown, Elliott DiGiuseppi and Noah Hawley. Directed by Noah Hawley. Rated R. 124 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL I didn’t see the first one of these movies, but I’m going to guess it was either a Disney movie about the wicked fairy godmother in the Sleeping Beauty story, or maybe a documentary exploring the gender of rapper 50 Cent? Eh, probably the Disney one. Sorry, Fiddy! Directed by Joachim Ronning. Starring Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer. (PG) 118 minutes. (SP) ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP I suppose it’s no The Rage: Carrie 2, but it did take a long time for this sequel to 2009’s Zombieland to get made. What do you remember about the original at this point? Bill Murray, probably, and he is indeed back in part two, once again playing himself. And probably Woody Harrelson’s character’s obsession with Twinkies. He probably still has that, too. Otherwise, pretty much just zombies and jokes, right? This sequel is sure to have a lot of both. Directed by Ruben Fleischer. Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin. (R) 99 minutes. (SP)

NOW PLAYING ABOMINABLE Since this movie first went into development in 2010, there have been two other animated films about a yeti having whimsical adventures. I wish there was a word for that kind of terrible luck. It’s not just bad luck, it’s … it’s … nope, can’t think of one. Directed by Jill Culton. Featuring the voices of Chloe Bennet, Albert Tsai, Eddie Izzard, and Sarah Paulson. (PG) 97 minutes. (SP) THE ADDAMS FAMILY They’re creepy and they’re kooky/Mysterious and spooky/And once again cartoon-y/The Addams Family/I liked the live-action movies/That Wednesday girl was groovy/But the

drawings are better, sue me/It’s how they’re supposed to be. Directed by Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon. Featuring the voices of Oscar Isaac as Gomez, Charlize Theron as Morticia, Chloe Grace Mortez as Wednesday, Bette Midler as Grandma, and Snoop Dogg as It. (PG) 105 minutes. (SP) AD ASTRA Director James Grey tries out a Terence Malick style in Ad Astra to crack the enigmatic calm of a Neil Armstrong type. Brad Pitt, bewitchingly cool and handsome in a space suit, plays near-future astronaut Major Roy McBryde. He is a famous man and a stranger to himself. In voice over, he muses about the lack of emotion that’s caused his wife (Liv Tyler) to leave him. Roy’s father Clifford (Tommy Lee Jones) was a renowned astronaut who abandoned his family on a mission. Pitt’s humanity keeps one hooked through this. The lost-father drama can be tedious in the deftest hands. But this time, the celestial backdrop adds some allegorical freshness to the subject of fathers so obsessed with their business, so closed off from their families, that they might as well be in ice-cold orbit around one of the outer planets. (PG-13) 122 minutes. (RvB) BRITTANY RUNS A MARATHON Can a movie be a comedy and an inspirational drama and not suck? That’s the question this new film from first-time writer-director Paul Downs Colaizzo seeks to answer with a “yes.” Based on the real-life story of Colaizzo’s roommate Brittany O’Neill (whose photos are shown at the end), the film features Jillian Bell (getting her first starring role after impressing in Workaholics and Eastbound and Down) as a woman who takes up running to lose weight and ends up training for the New York City Marathon. Co-starring Michaela Watkins, Micah Stock and Alice Lee. (R) 104 minutes. (SP) DOWNTON ABBEY No one knows Downton Abbey better than Julian Fellowes, creator and scriptwriter for the insanely popular PBS television series—unless you count the untold gazillions of rabid fans who embraced the show during its five years on the air. The faithful will adore every

juicy frame of the Crawley family’s cinematic adventure, from the lavish 1927-era costumes to every pointed remark between beloved characters, upstairs and downstairs. Beneath the main plot about a visit from the King and Queen of England, subplots are devoted to catching up with as many familiar characters as possible—with just enough storyline skipping along the movie’s glittery surface to propel things to a satisfying and stylish conclusion. As usual, Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess, clan matriarch, is Fellowes’ secret weapon. She makes an elegant feast out of every caustic syllable he feeds her. (PG) 122 minutes. (LJ) GEMINI MAN Has any highconcept science-fiction flick ever had as many lead actors fall through as Gemini Man? Over the last 20 years of its development hell, the main role of an aging government assassin who has to avoid being assassinated himself—by his own clone—has been attached to Harrison Ford, Nicolas Cage, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sean Connery, and many more. But since the premise of the film is that the clone is also played by a de-aged, computer-modified version of the same actor, I’m pretty sure all they had to do to get Will Smith is tell him that his name would be at the top of the poster twice. Directed by Ang Lee. Starring Will Smith, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Clive Owen. (PG-13) 117 minutes. (SP) HUSTLERS Remember that New York magazine article about strippers embezzling money from their Wall Street patrons? No? Well, your failure to get around to that stack of magazines you said you were going to read back in 2015 apparently didn’t faze studio execs, because they made a movie about it. But don’t worry, they probably didn’t read it, either. Written and directed by Lorene Scafaria. Starring Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez and Julia Stiles. (R) 109 minutes. (SP) JEXI Remember that time you were like,“I wish there was a comedy about a renegade phone AI program that talks like Siri but makes fun of its nerd-loser owner about his looks and

penis size, and then becomes jealous when he starts to date a human girl?” No? Well, somebody thought it, ’cause here it is. Directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. Starring Adam Devine, Alexandra Shipp and Rose Byrne as the voice of Jexi. (R) (SP) JOKER Critics see this sympathetic retelling of the Joker’s origin story, in which he is basically a crazy disaffected white guy who leads a bunch of other crazy disaffected white guys in getting their violent “revenge” on society, as—well, I probably don’t have to explain to you why this is the worst timing ever for this movie. For some reason, the people involved in the movie don’t get it, though, or are at least pretending not to. Director Todd Phillips wondered aloud why John Wick 3 didn’t get the same criticism (I’m assuming he didn’t see John Wick 3, a rather traditional action movie which toys with literally none of the hot-button issues that Joker does). Meanwhile, star Joaquin Phoenix simply walked out of an interview where a question about these themes was raised. Whoa, you really showed people with reasonable questions where to stick it, Joaquin! This might be the best movie of the year, for all I know, but if you’re going to make a controversial movie that fetishizes a twisted psychology that has led to realworld tragedy, maybe have the basic decency and intelligence level to talk about it articulately? (R) 121 minutes. (SP) JUDY Judy Garland has been gone for 50 years, but despite everything she went through in her life, Hollywood is not done with her yet. Rupert Goold’s biopic is a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of stardom, and an attempt to celebrate Garland’s fighting spirit and her magnetic hold on her audience. But while Renee Zellweger is often fascinating in the title role, the movie never soars above conventional Hollywood biopic clichés (let alone over the rainbow). That Zellweger does her own singing is both gutsy and problematic: even at the twilight of her career, Garland’s voice was more distinctive than this. But Zellweger nails her dramatic mannerisms, vibrant emotionalism and sly, self-deprecating sense of humor. She deserves a movie as

complicated as her performance. (PG-13) 118 minutes. (LJ) LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE In a hilariously stupid negative review of this documentary, the slobberingly conservative National Review tried to argue that considering Ronstadt’s career through a political lens is an egregious distortion of cultural history. Ultimately, the only thing they proved is that they know next to nothing about Ronstadt, whose political activism is legendary even in a music industry known for its earnest dogooding. As always, you can count on this time-tested rule: if the National Review doesn’t like a movie, it’s great. Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. (PG-13) 95 minutes. (SP) LUCY IN THE SKY Reviewed this issue. (R) 124 minutes. (SP) MONOS This Spanish-language war drama is about a group of Latin American commandos on a mountain, guarding a prisoner. It’s a gritty and grim look at the dehumanizing psychology of war. But on the flip side, some of their code names are delightful! You may be a bloodthirsty killer, Smurf—and Bigfoot and Boom Boom, you’re probably just as cold-blooded. But you have great taste in aliases, and … well, that’s something. Directed by Alejandro Landes. Starring Julianne Nicholson, Moises Arias and Jorge Roman. (R) 102 minutes. (SP) RAMBO: LAST BLOOD If you had to think of a name for a Rambo parody movie, wouldn’t Last Blood be pretty close to the top of the list? Is there anything that represents the sheer bone-headed terribleness of this character and all the bloodsoaked, bullet-hell films Sylvester Stallone made after the original First Blood better than calling the last film in the series Last Blood? I’m almost disappointed that the tagline isn’t something equally making-youexpel-iced-tea-from-your-nostrils ridiculous, like “He’s good to the last drop.” In fact, the actual tagline is,“Everyone has one last fight left in them.” Uh, were they thinking of Stallone’s other franchise, the Rocky movies? Directed by Adrian Grunberg. (R) 89 minutes. (SP)

Adventurous Eats Homeless Garden Project teams up with Patagonia and Home chef Brad Briske BY CHRISTINA WATERS

he Homeless Garden Project is trying something a little different: an offsite dinner. The Spirit of Partnership Dinner happens at Patagonia on Thursday, Oct. 24. And I’m telling you this now because it will be almost sold out by the time you read this. Here’s why: Brad Briske. The chef for this celebration of generosity is the chef/owner of Soquel’s

vibrant Home restaurant, formerly of Gabriella Cafe and Carmel’s La Balena. Briske, as many of you know, is an adventurous and passionate cuisinartist who produces dining surprises as well as deeply satisfying dining experiences. Patagonia is generously hosting this meal at their River Street retail location. Utilizing fresh produce from the Homeless Garden

Project farm and the diverse line of Patagonia Provisions, chef Briske and the team from Home are devising a delicious meal featuring appetizers, salad, entrée and dessert guaranteed to reduce diners to a chorus of oohs and aahs. Keynote speaker is Kelly Damewood, CEO of California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), a dynamic nonprofit organization that serves organic

Ah, the fish tacos, always a destination lunch dish at Gabriella Cafe. When I joined Rita for some endless philosophical chatter and a relaxed lunch there last week, that’s what we wanted—a plate of those irresistible tacos with succulent, shredded cod filet astride soft flour tortillas and splashed with shredded cabbage, cilantro and a sour cream drizzle ($15). The abundant salad that joined the tacos was a treat unto itself. We split one of pastry chef Krista Pollack’s blackberry-mascarpone tarts, which arrived with a lavish cloud of chantilly cream, fresh mint and strawberries ($9). With espresso, the tart could keep any foodie’s dessert lust in check. Gabriella Cafe, 910 Cedar St, Santa Cruz. 457-1677, gabriellacafe.com.

ALFARO AT CHAMINADE Winemaker Richard Alfaro will take a break from the last of the grape harvest for Alfaro Family Vineyards for another stellar farm-to-table dinner at Chaminade Resort. A five-course dinner prepared by Chef Pete Page and team will join Alfaro’s specially selected wines. Panoramic views of the Santa Cruz Mountains and Monterey Bay are the secret weapon of Chaminade’s outdoor patio seating, with atmosphere to spare. The price of wines, dinner and Alfaro’s colorful vineyard tales is a bargain $115 (tax and tip included). 6pm on Friday, Oct. 25. Chaminade Resort & Spa, 1 Chaminade Lane, Santa Cruz. 475-5600, chaminade.com.

SAMUELE POLVERSOI: My love for making pizza was born when I met Domenico Felice, the person who was then to become my teacher. He gave me the possibility of being recognized by the APP, Association Professional Pizzaioli. Later on, I was able to become a professional at handling certain types of dough—examples would be gluten free, alternative mixes of flour, and of course, regular flour. Now it’s been six years that I am a certified professional pizza maker. What makes your dough special?

The pizza dough are simple ingredients: water, flour, yeast, olive oil, salt. With my passion, I created my

dough with a mix of different flours, less yeast and 72 hours rise. I make different crust, too. Basil crust, cocoa crust, curcuma crust, paprika crust, and for sure my gluten-free crust. Which of your pizza combinations would you recommend?

Our masterpiece is the Pizza Sestola. San marzano tomato sauce, Italian sausage—made by myself— mushroom crimini, parmesan cheese and mozzarella. This pizza, for us it’s the most important. We dedicated it to our second town in Italy. We lived in Florence, but we have our second house in this little town on the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano, and here you can find all the toppings that we use on this pizza. What would you like people to know about you?

That we make not only real Italian pizza, but we make some Italian dessert on request. mattiapizzatruck.com; Facebook: Mattia Pizza Truck Santa Cruz; Instagram: Mattiapizza04.

couldn’t resist buying this wine when I saw the bottle at Deluxe Market in Aptos. The word sofos means “wise one” in Greek, which jumped out at me. I lived in Greece for 12 years and drank a lot of Greek wine back in the day. I’m glad to say it has improved greatly over the years, and some excellent wines are now being produced in the land of the fair Hellenes. Made by Domaine Gioulis in the mountainous area of Klimenti Corinth, grapes enjoy the higher altitudes of the Peloponnese. A blend of 60% Moschofilero (an aromatic white grape of Greek origin) and 40% Chardonnay, it’s a tasty pairing to enjoy with salads, seafood and pasta dishes. With its richly aromatic bouquet and a crisp, long aftertaste, this organic dry wine is a good buy at $13. Plus, you get to try white wine from Greece without having to go there to find it. dionet.gr.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES KALI YUGA—WHEN DARKNESS IS SEEN

It seems the Kali Yuga was out in full force last week as blackouts progressed in towns throughout Northern California. Kali Yuga is a time in which the darkness, usually unseen, is allowed to be seen. The Kali Yuga is a cycle of time. It is the last of four stages (ages, or yugas in Sanskrit) the world goes through. The last, final stage is the Kali Yuga stage; a time when humanity has forgotten the spiritual world and the Forces of Darkness (ignorance, evil, suppression, untruths, etc.) seem to prevail. The other cycles of time (yugas) are Satya, Treta and Dvapara Yugas. “Kali” means strife, discord, quarreling, darkness, contention, and is associated with the demon (not goddess) Kali. The Kali Yuga cycle began when Krishna died (end of the Dvarpa cycle—midnight Feb.

18, 3102 B.C.). During the Kali Yuga years, human civilization is said to lose its sense of spirituality. In the Hindu scriptures, the Four Yugas are stages of humanity’s separation from its spiritual origins. The Yugas represent a precipitation downward from spirit into matter (Earth). These Four Yugas are symbolized as the bull of morality, ethics and dharma (spiritual purpose). In Satya Yuga (Golden Age—humanity still close to its spiritual origins), the bull has four legs. But in succeeding yugas, morality is reduced by one quarter. By the Age of Kali (present times), the bull has only one leg. In between the Yugas, there is great disorder. This is called the Kurukshetra War—transition from one yuga to the next.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

An interlude is occurring in your relationships with others. It may feel different and disconcerting. A balancing of priorities and values is taking place, so that you can ponder upon many things and then make a choice as to where you stand in these epic times. You might feel separate from others along with the inability to move forward. These are assessment tools. Two paths appear. You’re asked to choose. Be very attentive.

The Libra light shines on you with full potency. And happy Libra birthday. We have just passed the halfway point of the astrological year (Aries/Libra). Libra signifies the scales, the balance, the harvest of all good things. You realize harmony and diplomacy are wise ways of being. Your instinctual nature also knows community and sharing helps us survive the upcoming winter of our discontent. A door of/to forgiveness has opened. Will you pass through?

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Oct. 16, 2019

TAURUS Apr21–May21 The work of consciousness-building continues. For relief, ease, comfort, and healing, you dedicate yourself to the natural work—the garden. There is great strife in our world and country today, which Taurus does not like. However, its purpose is to accelerate awareness. You are entering deeper into a path of healing, an art you already bring forth. There’s much work to accomplish to “restore the Plan on Earth.” You’re doing (and preparing) your part. Remain cheerful.

You always seek the mysterious. You are the “mystery” of the zodiac. Hardly anyone understands Scorpio. You like it that way. One of the mysteries of Libra is that there are two doors, and one must be chosen. Both doors offer gifts. One leads to a solitary life, filled with tests and trials to see if you’re discipleship material. The other leads to more experiences in form and matter.

The life of Sag is filled with multiple influences. The higher (soul) and lower selves (personality) are always oscillating, seeking rest and relaxation. A certain tension of choice exists. Presently the movement is accelerated, the need to choose becomes a tension, and duality is apparent everywhere. What helps (in balancing) is having a “mission” in life, having a horse to ride, and doing lots of walking in wildernesses. Contemplation results.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

More and more, you’re called to “nurture form.” Perhaps this takes place in the garden, where you intuitively work so well already. Perhaps it’s preparing and providing food, which nurtures others. Perhaps it’s simply to rest a while in nature and observe (and communicate with) birds in the air (like St. Francis of Assisi). As you combine love with intelligence, you create a fertile field for everyone’s gifts to come forth. You are generous and kind.

Somewhere, everywhere, there seems to be some sort of conflict. Let’s give it purpose. Through conflict, we are able to observe (and express!) inner battles. During this month, an interlude (balance and quietude) occurs, so you can consider new choices. Desires turn into aspirations (a Soul quality). Something’s released. Also, when someone acts out, it means they don’t understand how to act differently. Be their transformation and their grace. For health, take NAC and chlorella daily.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 I can tell you’re weighing and choosing options. You’re wondering should you simply drop the ways you’ve been thinking and feeling and start over on another project, one more expansive and inclusive? Look back from where you’ve come. What are your strengths, what have you accomplished? Venus asks, “Are you practicing acts of kindness with all the kingdoms?” Make sure your kindness, charity and gentleness are authentic.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Here are a few things to do this autumn: Define decisions to be made, complete projects, bless everything daily, learn to negotiate with finesse. Strengthen all interactions and partnerships through recognition of others’ gifts. Realize what you give returns tenfold. Give more. Share what you know to be just. Defend others’ rights.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 At times, working with money can be difficult. Let’s start over here. It’s good and right to be fair with money. Ask for what is yours. Be truthful about the money owed. Truth holds us. Choices will be apparent this month. Decisions can be difficult in Libra. However, this is a most important time, and the choices you make determine the rest of your life: where you will live, whom you will work with, the quality of your health, your mantras, prayers and tithes. Choice becomes an initiation.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

You would do well to take up a study of the purpose of our solar system, reading Blavatsky’s Secret Doctrine. This is a large and in-depth study only entered into and comprehended through the lens of the Ageless Wisdom. Your mind seeks truth as your heart seeks expanded consciousness. Here is your prayer each day: “I offer my little will to the Great Will.” Then the group of study to which you belong appears.

Notice the opposing forces in your life these days. First your thinking process, from lower-mind to higher-mind thinking. During these days of choice comes a place of no return; we must choose the future path. Something I want to tell you: No one is an island. Sometimes you wish you were. However, Libra says you must make compromises and learn to negotiate—difficult for Leo. However, the most successful kings and queens have mastered these. You can, too.

Continuing the conversation...Who’s selling homes these days and where are they going? And who’s buying homes and where are they coming from? This thread started a few weeks back when we were musing about increasing concerns around more Buyers immigrating into the County from elsewhere. More than a few locals are worried that the unique character of Santa Cruz is changing. And that somehow, some way, we are getting close to a tipping point where whatever it is that makes our Santa Cruz-ness unique is in danger of being lost. For some, it almost feels like a remake of the “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. Every night after they go to sleep a few more of their longtime friends and neighbors seem to disappear and get mysteriously replaced by alien “pod” people who look like them, but don’t quite act like them. We’ve already talked about the people selling their homes and where most are going. Typically they’re aging baby-boomers or the aging parents of aging baby-boomers moving to gray-er pastures outside of California. But what about those Buyers? It’s tempting, but is it fair to lump all those recent arrivals under the heading of “carpetbaggers”. Can we simply assume that all our Buyers are all rich, Silicon Valley techietypes (because who else can afford a house here) who are intent on buying up all of the real estate in Santa Cruz to use as privileged second homes? There’s a disconnect of course… When it comes time to Sell, many of those same locals who’ve been worried about Santa Cruz’ changing character seem to flip and start fantasizing about the rich Silicon Valley techietypes who are going to plunk down all-cash offers on their homes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Seller significantly discount their price so that more deserving locals could afford to buy their home. And in all likelihood, people already living in some of those other States where our Sellers are going, see them as rich carpetbaggers from California coming to wreak havoc on the local vibe and drive up real estate prices. That’s an old story from a number of different migrations out of California in decades past. So what is the profile of people buying in Santa Cruz these days? They tend to be younger than people who are selling. Most are between 35-65 years old. And it’s true that the majority are coming from over-the-hill - mostly Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties and San Francisco and Marin. But they aren’t all or even mostly wealthy techi- types intent on buying second homes where they can come on weekends and make the line-ups more crowded for local surfers.. Next week we’ll break down the typical Buyer.

Cathy Arroyo was raised in Watsonville by Hispanic Spanish-speaking parents, thus passing on the tradition of their language. The family is proud to own a western clothing store in which Cathy grew up helping customers and learned to negotiate and understand their needs. She moved away from the area in her early teens but missed the wonderful community and scenic views of Santa Cruz County. Her love for the community and her entrepreneurial spirit are some of the things that inspired her passion for real estate. The many skills she has acquired from working in retail and watching her father, as well as helping run a small business, allow Cathy to better serve home buyers. “I am very proud to be working with such a wonderful team like Bailey Properties.

Occupation: Co-publisher/printer/binder Foolscap Press Hobbies: Gardening, marionette puppeteering, cooking, camping, Santa Cruz Shakespeare volunteer LARRY VAN VELZER, 32-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Co-publisher/printer/binder Foolscap Press Hobbies: Gardening, marionette puppeteering, cooking, camping, Santa Cruz Shakespeare volunteer What first got you shopping here? PEGGY:“I knew of Shopper’s before moving to Santa Cruz because my sister shopped here.” LARRY:“I was influenced by Peggy but also was immediately impressed by Shopper’s wonderful product lines—affordable to absolute top-end. I remember thinking someone here really likes wine — it’s stocked all the way around the store — and maybe they also own a winery.” PEGGY:“Shopper’s is such a great store and has an impressive selection of everything; it never ceases to amaze. I may find an interesting recipe on online and come in here in search of an odd item and find it. I find it fun to experiment with something new.”

What do you folks like to cook? PEGGY:“We don’t eat much meat but we do buy fish here. The cuisines we tend to make — Middle Eastern, Indian, Southeast Asian and more — are very inspiring, and we get all of our ingredients at Shopper’s.” LARRY:“I try to make dishes that I think will complement what Peggy is making. We both play around with recipes.You take something that you would normally put meat in and you experiment in order to make it more flavorful.” PEGGY:“For us, Shopper’s produce section is a mainstay. So many organic, local offerings that are sometimes priced less than their conventional counterparts.

What would you tell someone who is new to town about Shopper’s? PEGGY:“You don’t need to go anywhere else.” LARRY:“Shopper’s can be your core store. For us it’s a staple.” PEGGY:“I don’t care to shop at the chain stores. I’m happier shopping at a local businesses like Shopper’s and supporting them.” LARRY: “Shopper’s doesn’t feel like a corporate store.And they’re very conscientious about getting you on your way out quickly. If a checkout line is backing up, they’ll always call another checker.” PEGGY:“Their customer service is great. Shopper’s is a fun place to shop with genuinely friendly human interactions.”

“Shopper’s is such a great store and has an impressive selection of everything; it never ceases to amaze.”
